Tuition and Financial Assistance

During the 2015-2016 academic year, Our Lady of Mercy Church awarded more than $75,000 in tuition assistance for eligible families. Generous tuition assistance is available for active parishioners of OLM church or from your local parish.

Financial aid is also available through the Diocese of Providence for children in grades K-12 through the Frances Warde Fund. This program is made possible through contributions to the Catholic Charity Fund Appeal. All Diocesan aid is given on the basis of demonstrated need, which is assessed by a third-party provider, FACTS Management.

To apply for tuition assistance, families should complete a tuition assistance application and submit it to our needs-assessment provider, FACTS Management. Applications can be found and submitted online on the FACTS Management website at www.factsmgt.com. The deadline for submitting a completed application for tuition assistance in anticipation of the upcoming school year is February 12.
